Who is Divin Mubama? 20-year-old who scored in his first game for Manchester City

Divin Mubama is one of nine changes made by Pep Guardiola for tonight's FA Cup third-round matchup against Salford, marking his senior City debut. The 20-year-old, who came to City from West Ham United this summer, has already missed three games this season and been benched: in December against Manchester United, Everton, and Leicester City. 

At the Etihad, however, he started against the Ammies this evening. He has, however, made 18 appearances for West Ham, including five in the Premier League, and scored one goal for the Hammers, giving him first-team experience. The attacker also scored an amazing 58 goals in 90 games when he was in their academy.

Throughout his performance, he displayed unrelenting sprinting, strength, power, and remarkable link-up play with his new teammates. The only two players from our most recent Premier League victory over West Ham are Nathan Ake and Savinho. Divin Mubama, who made his debut for Manchester City, may never score another goal as easily as the one he just scored in his first start for Manchester City.

Doku and Mubama both scored goals as Pep Guardiola's team jumped up to a 2-0 lead early in the first half. Savio and Matheus Nunes worked well together, and the Portuguese midfielder then smashed the ball over the six-yard box, where Mubama sprang with joy.

Jeree=my Doku scored the first goal of match

The Salford team only managed to hold out for eight minutes at the Etihad Stadium before Manchester City took a 1-0 lead. To give the Citizens the lead, the Belgian striker used his right foot to fire after Jack Grealish's assist. Jeremy Doku has emerged as one of the most promising young players in global football, and his transfer to Manchester City has further raised anticipation. Pep Guardiola's team is expected to benefit greatly from the Belgian winger's explosive speed, amazing dribbling abilities, and propensity for scoring important goals.
